Christmas Quiz 1

[Bumper]

Okay, okay, okay...so Turkey Day is out of the way. It's after December 1st, the day we traditionally start turning on our Christmas lights in our house. (They've been up for about a month, to avoid the drifts of snow and frostbite which are often issues by Dec. 1) The Christmas tree lots are all open for business, and you can't get close to a mall in anything smaller than a armoured personnel carrier. It must be Christmas!! So, I can now start hauling out my Yuletide material, huh? Here goes...(You're gonna' be soooo glad when the season is over!)
